What are Medical Aesthetics Applications?
The most important advantage of medical aesthetic applications is that successful results are achieved with fast, effective and minimally invasive procedures without the need for surgery or anesthesia. The main medical aesthetic applications are:
1. Filling
The skin is the largest organ in the body and acts as a barrier by covering the entire surface. Aging affects skin cells as it does all cells. Some areas sag and droop. With the filler application, the lower part of the sagged or drooping areas is filled and the old plump appearance is achieved. The filler application varies depending on the area:
Forehead Filling: It is done to eliminate lines and wrinkles that appear due to age in the forehead area. Today, fillers that are frequently used in non-surgical aesthetic methods contain hyaluronic acid; it has a fast effect and is highly permanent.
Nose Filler: Nose filler allows individuals who are uncomfortable with their overall nose appearance to quickly achieve the desired appearance without surgery. This fast and effective method, applied by a specialist doctor, has a permanence of 12 to 18 months.
Chin Filling: In cases where the individual is unhappy, such as sagging of the chin with age or genetically recessed chin, medical aesthetic methods can be used. Chin filling is applied to create an oval face appearance and to make the chin form look appropriate to the face. Hyaluronic acid fillers are used. It has a permanence of 18 to 24 months.
Lip Filling: Lips are one of the areas where fat and connective tissue are lost with aging. An individual's lips can become thinner with aging, and this can be uncomfortable for the individual. Lip fillers applied to the inside of the lip provide fast and effective results.
Russain Lips: Russian Lips is the name of a lip filling application. Unlike traditional lip filling, with this technique the lips gain more volume and curve outwards. Although its permanence varies from person to person, it lasts 15-20 months on average.
Cheekbone Filling: The cheekbones are affected in areas of the face where the cheekbones are not genetically prominent or due to the decrease in subcutaneous fat tissue with age. Cheekbone filler application provides the face with a younger and more vibrant appearance along with the collapse and wrinkles.
Under Eye Light Filler: It is a fast and effective medical aesthetic method used by individuals who have structurally sunken and bruised appearances under their eyes in order to eliminate this appearance. Easily soluble fillers are preferred in the procedure. It is applied by a doctor and has a permanence of 12-24 months.
Temple Filler: The loss of fat tissue in the temple area with aging pulls the face down, causing sagging and depressions in the eyebrow area. Fillers containing hyaluronic acid are injected into the temple area to restore its former volume.
2. Botox for Aesthetic Purposes
Botox is an abbreviation of the words botulinum toxin, produced by the bacteria called clostridium botulinum. This toxin has been used in the treatment of diseases in the medical world for many years. Recently, it has also been used for aesthetic purposes. It is a very safe and painless method. The effect of Botox lasts for an average of 4-6 months and repeated applications after checks increase its effectiveness. The places where it is used for aesthetic purposes are:
-
Elimination of lines and wrinkles in the chin, face, eye and forehead area
-
The presence of asymmetry in the facial area caused by smiling
-
Treatment of sagging in the cheek area
Masseter Botox: The masseter muscle is located in the chewing muscle group and is located on both sides of the jaw. Individuals who constantly chew or clench their teeth due to stress experience enlargement of the masseter muscle. Botulinum toxin is injected into the masseter muscle to prevent this enlargement and provide an oval appearance to the face.
Sweating Treatment: Sweating is a normal physiological mechanism of the body. Sweat is a secretion produced by the sweat glands during excessive effort or stressful situations such as excitement and fear. At the same time, body temperature is reduced by sweating in cases where body temperature increases. There are two types of sweat glands in the body: apocrine and eccrine. Apocrine glands are most commonly found in the armpits and genital area, while eccrine glands are found in every part of the body. Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) is the name given to sweat glands working more than normal and has various causes. Some diseases that can progress with excessive sweating are:
-
Hyperthyroidism
-
Diabetes
-
Obesity
-
Menopause
-
Gastritis
If there is an underlying organic pathology, the doctor should treat that disease. Sweating is a physiological condition for each individual, but if a doctor diagnoses hyperhidrosis, medical aesthetic treatments are applied according to the area. The primary medical aesthetic treatment for reducing excessive sweating is Botox. Botox is done by injecting botulinum toxin into the relevant area.
3. Allogeneic Fibroblast Stem Cell Therapy
100% fibroblast cells obtained from the foreskins of newborn babies with special techniques are used as a treatment tool. Fibroblast cells are produced in a special stem cell laboratory approved by the Ministry of Health. The proliferation of millions of new stem cells is ensured in the GMP approved zero particle laboratory. This process is FDA approved. The produced fibroblast cells pass through the quality control processes determined by the Ministry of Health and European Standards and become ready for application.
It is applied in a single session. Its permanence is 3 years. It is the skin rejuvenation method with the longest lasting effect. We rejuvenate the skin naturally without spoiling the natural expression on the face. We achieve a healthy skin that has regained its elasticity and the appearance of spots has disappeared.
4. Mesotherapy
The skin loses its vitality over time (age, smoking, alcohol, bad eating habits). Mesotherapy is the process of delivering the vitamins and other minerals that the skin needs to the subcutaneous tissue with the help of an injector. It is performed by applying local anesthesia with the help of specially designed very thin needles. The frequency and number of sessions are planned by the specialist doctor according to the individual's needs.
Hair Mesotherapy: Hair mesotherapy is the injection of vitamins, minerals and amino acids into the scalp. Hair mesotherapy nourishes the hair follicles. Stops hair loss. Thickens thin hair. Makes hair more vibrant, shiny and healthy. Hair mesotherapy is generally performed at 10-14 day intervals. The number of sessions varies from patient to patient, but the average is 6-10 sessions.
Under-Eye Mesotherapy: The under-eye area is the first place where we see signs of aging. Wrinkles, bags, bruises, dark circles and lines occur around the eyes. Under-eye mesotherapy, specially developed for these conditions, is injected with thin needles called ghost needles. It is generally applied in 2 sessions, 14 days apart.
Parisian Glow: It is one of the most effective mesotherapy products for facial rejuvenation thanks to its hyaluronic acid and 59 different active ingredients.

Youth Vaccine (SALMON DNA): The salmon DNA application, which has become quite popular recently, is also known as the youth vaccine. The two basic components of salmon DNA are polynucleotides obtained from salmon and hyaluronic acid. Salmon DNA is the DNA most similar to human DNA. In this way, it supports skin structuring, repair and tissue renewal. Hyaluronic acid is one of the basic building blocks of the skin. It provides moisture to the skin by retaining water and contributes to collagen synthesis. Salmon DNA, or the youth vaccine, makes the skin tighter, brighter and more moist. It increases collagen and elastin synthesis. Thus, problems such as sagging, loss of elasticity, dullness, dryness and tone differences in the skin are improved. Tissue repair is stimulated in areas with tissue damage such as acne scars and scars.
Biological Lifting Vaccine: As aging is an inevitable process, collagen synthesis in the body decreases. We apply the biological lifting vaccine to increase the amount of moisture and collagen synthesis, which are the basic needs of our skin.
-
It gives the skin lost elasticity.
-
It creates a lifting effect by preventing sagging of the skin.
-
It reduces the appearance of wrinkles on the skin.

-
This application is also called six-point lifting, six + one-point lifting. It can be applied to the face, neck, décolleté and hand areas.
5. Local Whitening Treatments
Chemical peeling is applied in a single session to lighten the dark skin appearance, especially in the genital, armpit, knee and elbow areas. After the procedure, the patient uses the cream we give as a follow-up product at home twice a day for 3 weeks. The patient can return to social life immediately after the regional whitening procedure.
6. PRP
Platelet Rich Plasma is an abbreviation of the first letters of the words. It is the process of separating the plasma of the blood taken from the individual by centrifugation and giving the content back to the individual. It can be used in many areas such as acne-related scars, blemishes especially in the facial area, hair loss, and wrinkle removal. PRP treatment provides skin renewal and after renewal, a visible difference occurs in the removal of blemishes, tightening of the skin, and removal of wrinkles.
7. Dermapen
It is a process of damaging the individual's skin in a controlled manner by applying micro-needling. Thus, skin renewal is achieved by triggering the skin's own natural collagen and elastin production. The vibrating movement of the micro-needles ensures that the necessary vitamins and minerals reach the subcutaneous tissue. Dermapen, which is suitable for all skin types, is used in the treatment of acne scars, blemishes, wrinkles and pores.
8. Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT)
Regional fat is one of the most common aesthetic problems today. Regular exercise and appropriate diets may not be enough. At the same time, due to the effect of aging, weaknesses are seen in both the skin and subcutaneous fat tissue and the connective tissue. Therefore, treatments that affect all tissues, not just fat or connective tissue, are needed. Acoustic wave therapy works exactly in this area. The AWT device creates vibration by producing sound waves. The vibration created helps to break down fat tissues, release the skin, tighten the connective tissues, stimulate the lymph vessels and increase lymphatic drainage and reduce edema.
9. CGF
It is a term abbreviated using the first letters of the words Concentrated Growth Factor. It is the process of giving the plasma fluid containing concentrated growth factor and stem cells back to the individual by various methods after the individual's own blood is subjected to a special process in a laboratory environment. It is an anti-aging application; it is applied to the general body and face. It is a method that has been highly preferred recently in the treatment of spots and wrinkles. It is also an application that supports the treatment of musculoskeletal system diseases and helps wound and burn healing.
10. Cryolipolysis
It is a non-surgical application that allows unwanted fat to be cooled, reduced in size and removed from the body, especially in the hip, abdomen and back areas. The cold lipolysis procedure does not harm the surrounding tissues. It is a very comfortable procedure for individuals who do not want to undergo surgical interventions such as liposuction. After the procedure, the individual can return to their daily lives in a short time.
11. Fractional RF
Gold needle treatment, Superficial Skin Rejuvenation (SRR) and Grid Fractional FR treatment types are medical aesthetic procedures applied using radiofrequency methods. Skin problems occurring in the entire face, neck, hands and décolleté area are improved. The procedure is performed using local anesthesia creams. The areas of use of AWT application are as follows:
-
Regional slimming and regional tightening
-
Tightening of skin and connective tissue with cellulite treatment
-
Preventing and tightening age-related sagging of the chin and arms
12. Thread Lift Face Lift
With age, there is a decrease in collagen levels and connective tissues in human skin, and this decrease mostly affects the face area. Therefore, lines are mostly seen on the face and wrinkles are noticed in old age. Wrinkles are quickly and effectively eliminated with non-surgical medical aesthetic methods; a younger facial appearance is gained. Face lift with thread suspension is used as an alternative to plastic surgery. Skin tightening is applied with flexible threads, and sagging and wrinkles are eliminated. In addition to its aesthetic use, it is also used in the treatment of patients with facial paralysis.
What are the Health Technologies (Devices) Used in Medical Aesthetics Applications?
AWT Device
The AWT device provides body shaping, cellulite and regional thinning by sending acoustic waves. Special heads are used according to the individual's skin thickness and the aim is to have the highest level of effectiveness.
Cold Lipolysis Device
The cold lipolysis device allows the removal of fat tissue from the body thanks to the heads with cryo (cooling) and vacuum features. It is used in every part of the body thanks to the heads of different sizes. It provides cooling down to approximately -10 degrees and thus the fat cells are destroyed and eliminated from the body.
Fractional RF Device
The Fractional RF device used in gold needle treatment triggers collagen production by sending radiofrequency energy under the skin with the help of needles that can be adjusted between 0-3 mm. The device also provides a needle-free fractional radiofrequency option for individuals who do not prefer needle application.
